FAMILIA Y AMIGOS!!

It is now legal for me to write friends.  ALLELUIA!!!!

So this week was a little rough because my companion was sick all week soooo we were under house arrest/mission office arrest.  It was the WORST.  BUT there were some good parts

- Ive been reading the Book of Mormon like my life depends on it.  And I am obsessed!!  I encourage all of you to read it and apply it to your lives!  I love reading about Alma and Amulek and Ammon and their lives as missionaries.  It really makes my trials seem manageable haha.

- I got to see Hna. Shaw!  She was in my district in the CCM and it was soooo nice to see her again!

- Our first day back to work  (Friday) was the best.  We invited 16 people to church and every single one of our investigators to baptism.  So fun.

- We watched the Together Forever video with Robins family yesterday.  I forgot that I used to watch that with my mom and sharyl waaaaay back in the day when we lived i Steeplechase.  I started crying!  Haha sometimes I just really miss home.

- As for the bad news... Elder Jacobsen got transfered today.  I am devastated.  He was our zone leader and he helped me a lot during the couple of weeks that I was having a hard time.  Plus my companion leaves in two weeks.  I guess this is the time for me to FINALLY learn how to deal with change in my life!

Well thats about all Ive got.  Thanks for all your love and support, means the world to me!  Keep praying for our investigators that they will keep commitments and be truly converted please!  We want converts, not baptisms :)

Love,
